Flickering Myth Comps
Does anyone else have an issue with the entry form not appearing for Flickering Myth comps using FF? I have to use IE to enter them. It's not a huge issue but it would be easier I if could get them to work in FF, so if anyone has any thoughts/advice it would be gratefully received :)

Comps E: 30/09 close during the day- don't need bumping to say closed
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: For Flips Sake Comps end at various times during the day they close, they don't need bumping up the board just to say closed. It's one thing pressing expired but it takes just as many expired clicks to be moved if it is bumped or not.
Can someone who does twitter look at this, seems it may be daily, thanks

Linking Directly To Blog Comps Problem With Blog Owners
Hello There :beer: Just received a message saying a blog owner is not happy with her comp being directly linked to instead of going onto the blog. I can't remember if it was a RC where you have to go onto the blog to comment to open up all the other options or not. This is the gist of it:…

Roboform, what do you do?
I've had a trial of Roboform twice but removed the software when it ended. Currently I have downloaded it again, I'm am told my trial has expired and that I need to 'activate' but it still seems to be working for the time being. Do you all pay for it, or is it possible to get it, or something similar free? Windows form…
How do you organise your advents?
Although I have been comping on here for about 5 years, I have never previously bothered with the advents. Perhaps entering the odd one or two here and there, but not having a system for doing loads every day. I am thinking that this year, I will give them a go. I want to just bookmark the ones that I am interested in,…
Do you tag winners on facebook?
It really annoys me that a lot of companies announce the winner on their facebook page but don't bother to tag them or even get in contact with them. I don't get how they expect people to check their page religiously every day as even non-compers like a lot of different pages on facebook. I almost missed out on a prize the…
Do You Open Every Email?
I tend to scan my emails by just reading the title rather than opening the email and reading the body. I've read recently a few compers spotting WEMs in their spam folders, which got me thinking about this. I was wondering whether those emails actually said Congratulations or similar in the title. Do you open and read…

Quick question
Was just wondering if there is any particular reason why certain daily competitions are bumped on the main board daily and others are not . For example and the 1 that got me wondering was the current shortlist daily designer watch competition , it seemed strange that with prizes as good as these each day and an answer that…
